Both directions of I-10 from Williams Blvd. to the St. Charles Parish line will experience alternating lane closures, and the Loyola Blvd. and Williams Blvd. entrance and exit ramps will experience alternating ramp closures.

The closures will take place May 5 through May 10 from 7 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. daily.

The eastbound I-10 entrance ramp from Loyola Blvd. will be closed May 5 from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m.

On I-610, the right westbound lane just west of St. Bernard Ave. will be closed from 8 p.m. May 5 to 5 a.m. May 6 while crews install guardrail and remove temporary concrete barriers.

The right westbound lane of I-610 will close May 9 from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. May 10 and May 10 from 7:30 p.m. to 10 a.m. May 11.

In the eastbound direction of I-610, the right lane will be closed from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. on the nights of May 8 and 9 (Louisiana DOTD originally announced these closures for the nights of May 7 and 8).

These closures will be between Elysian Fields Ave. and the I-10 East/I-610 interchange and are for hydro blasting of the concrete for replacing the sign trusses.
